In this study, three-dimensional information of submarine topography acquired by assembling DGPS method and echo sounder which mainly used in the marine survey. Moreover, the hopper dredging capacity in harbor public affair has been calculated by utilizing kriging, radial basis function and nearest neighbor interpolation. Also, utilization of DGPS/Echo sounder method in calculation of the dredging capacity have been confirmed by comparing and analyzing the hopper dredging capacity and the actual one as per each interpolation. According to this comparison result, in case of applying kriging interpolation, some 1.89% of error rate has been shown as difference of the contents is 15,364 ㎥ and in case of applying radial basis function interpolation and nearest neighbor interpolation, 3.9% and 4.4% of error rates have respectively shown. In case the study for application of the proper interpolation as per characteristics of submarine topography, is preceded in calculation of the dredging capacity relevant to harbor public affairs, it is expected that more speedy and correct calculation for the dredging capacity can be made.

In this study, we introduce and discuss a concept of a granular-oriented radial basis function neural networks (GRBF NNs). In contrast to the typical architectures encountered in radial basis function neural networks(RBF NNs), our main objective is to develop a design strategy of GRBF NNs as follows : (a) The architecture of the network is fully reflective of the structure encountered in the training data which are granulated with the aid of clustering techniques. More specifically, the output space is granulated with use of K-Means clustering while the information granules in the multidimensional input space are formed by using a so-called context-based Fuzzy C-Means which takes into account the structure being already formed in the output space, (b) The innovative development facet of the network involves a dynamic reduction of dimensionality of the input space in which the information granules are formed in the subspace of the overall input space which is formed by selecting a suitable subset of input variables so that the this subspace retains the structure of the entire space. As this search is of combinatorial character, we use the technique of genetic optimization to determine the optimal input subspaces. A series of numeric studies exploiting some nonlinear process data and a dataset coming from the machine learning repository provide a detailed insight into the nature of the algorithm and its parameters as well as offer some comparative analysis.

Facial expression, which changes face geometry, usually has an adverse effect on the performance of a face recognition system. To improve the face recognition rate, we propose a normalization method of facial expression to diminish the difference of facial expression between probe and gallery faces. Two approaches are used to facial expression modeling and normalization from single still images using a generic facial muscle model without the need of large image databases. The first approach estimates the geometry parameters of linear muscle models to obtain a biologically inspired model of the facial expression which may be changed intuitively afterwards. The second approach uses RBF(Radial Basis Function) based interpolation and warping to normalize the facial muscle model as unexpressed face according to the given expression. As a preprocessing stage for face recognition, these approach could achieve significantly higher recognition rates than in the un-normalized case based on the eigenface approach, local binary patterns and a grey-scale correlation measure.

For most of linear time-varying (LTV) systems, it is difficult to design time-varying controllers in analytic way. Accordingly, by approximating LTV systems as uncertain linear time-invariant, control design approaches such as robust control have been applied to the resulting uncertain LTI systems. In particular, a robust control method such as quantitative feedback theory (QFT) has an advantage of guaranteeing the frozen-time stability and the performance specification against plant parameter uncertainties. However, if these methods are applied to the approximated linear. time-invariant (LTI) plants with large uncertainty, the resulting control law becomes complicated and also may not become ineffective with faster dynamic behavior. In this paper, as a method to enhance the fast dynamic performance of LTV systems with bounded time-varying parameters, the approximated uncertainty of time-varying parameters are reduced by the proposed QFT parameter-scheduling control design based on radial basis function (RBF) networks.

In this thesis, we propose the algorithm to improve the performance of speaker verification that is mapping feature parameters by using RBF neural network. There is a big difference between wire vector region and wireless one which comes from the same speaker. For wire/wireless speakers model production, speaker verification system should distinguish the wire/wireless channel that based on speech recognition system. And the feature vector of untrained channel models is mapped to the feature vector(LPC Cepstrum) of trained channel model by using RBF neural network. As a simulation result, the proposed algorithm makes 0.6%∼10.5% performance improvement compared to conventional method such as cepstral mean subtraction.

This paper proposes a new RBF neural network that determines the number and the center of hidden neurons based on the adaptive feature extraction for the input data. The principal component analysis is applied for extracting adaptively the features by reducing the dimension of the given input data. It can simultaneously achieve a superior property of both the principal component analysis by mapping input data into set of statistically independent features and the RBF neural networks. The proposed neural networks has been applied to classify the 200 breast cancer databases by 2-class. The simulation results shows that the proposed neural networks has better performances of the learning time and the classification for test data, in comparison with those using the k-means clustering algorithm. And it is affected less than the k-means clustering algorithm by the initial weight setting and the scope of the smoothing factor.

In biomass gasification, efficiency of energy quantification is a difficult part without finishing the process. In this article, a radial basis function neural network (RBFN) is proposed to predict biomass efficiency before gasification. RBFN will be compared with a principal component regression (PCR) and a multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPN). Due to the high dimensionality of data, principal component transform is first used in PCR and afterwards, ordinary regression is applied to selected principal components for modeling. Multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPN) is also used without any preprocessing. For this research, 3 wood samples and 3 other feedstock are used and they are near infrared (NIR) spectrum data with high-dimensionality. Ash and char are used as response variables. The comparison results of two responses will be shown.

MRI 기계의 성능에 따라서 사용되는 슬라이스의 수가 적을 수 있다. 결과적으로 적은 슬라이스를 이용해 3D surface를 재구성하게 되면 퀄리티가 낮아지는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 적은 수의 슬라이스를 이용하여 높은 퀄리티의 3D surface를 얻는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위한 알고리즘은 먼저 원하는 영역의 경계를 찾아서 그 경계선들의 점을 찾는다. 이러한 점들을 이용하여 Radial Basis Function을 이용해서 슬라이스와 슬라이스 사이를 보간하고 이렇게 보간된 데이터들을 이용하여 Marching cube 알고리즘을 이용하여 렌더링 한다.

The major goal of this paper is to develop a practically implemental radial basis function (RBF) neural network based multi-user detector (MUD) for direct sequence (DS)-CDMA system. This work is expected to provide an efficient solution for RBF based MUD by quickly setting up the proper number of RBF centers and their locations required in training. The basic idea in this research is to estimate all the possible RBF centers by using supervised ${\kappa-means$ clustering technique, and select the only centers which locate near seemingly decision boundary between centers, and reduce further by grouping the some of centers adjacent each other. Therefore, it reduces the computational burden for finding the proper number of RBF centers and their locations in the existing RBF based MUD, and ultimately, make its implementation practical.

In this paper we proposed a heterogeneous hidden layer consisting of both sigmoid functions and RBFs(Radial Basis Function) in multi-layered neural networks. Focusing on the orthogonal relationship between the sigmoid function and its derivative, a derived RBF that is a derivative of the sigmoid function is used as the RBF in the neural network. so the proposed neural network is called ONN(Orthogonal Neural Network). Identification results using a nonlinear function confirm both the ONN＇s feasibility and characteristics by comparing with those obtained using a conventional neural network which has sigmoid function or RBF in hidden layer
